: It looks like Solr does not use a simple cached queryfilter as a query : cache. Why is this? Is a cache queryfilter not efficient enough? Is this : alternate method just so you can easily load the cache from an old : Searcher to a new Searcher? Any info appreciated.
This would probably be better addressed on the solr-user mailing list -- please post any followup question there. I'll through out some high level answers though in case any one else is interested... * there's nothign to stop a solr request handler from using QueryFilter's if they want (i have and do) * Solr has several types of caches for different things * the "filterCache" has the most direct conceptual mapping to how a QueryFilter and CachedWrapperFilter work. The big benefits it has are: - the DocSet API allows for more memory efficient representations of small sets of documents then just a BitSet - it can be configured with a size and replacement strategy (CachedWrapperFilter is more for things that can live "forever" relative the IndexReader) -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
